Обсуждение: [HACKERS] Make defines in pg_config_manual.h conditional?

Hi,

ATM the defines in pg_config_manual.h are largely unconditional - which
means the file has to be edited instead of being able to override things
via CFLAGS/COPT.  Is there any good reason for doing so?

Greetings,

Andres Freund

YES.  If you do things like that, the installed version of
pg_config_manual.h will not reflect the way the backend was built,
which is likely to break pgxs-type builds of addon modules later.

Just edit the file.
